This is not me but I found this and found it absolutely stunning I wanted to share.
I believe the artist is @bolloxs_painting. If I got that wrong then apologies.
That's some extrarodinary work. For some reason it just screams Edgar Allan Poe to me.

I’d also like to see the Original ForgeWorld Greater Daemons Return, the Blood Thirster in particular is such an Iconic Warhammer Miniature.
A hearty 'yes please' to that! I'm still kicking myself that I never got around to buying the Keeper of Secrets when I could.

I also personally strongly dislike the move of making special characters crowd out generic characters.
Yes, that irks me too. From a lore point of view, it seems silly that Archaon or whoever turns up for every minor skirmish that goes on. Plus I like creating my own heroes, giving them names and backgrounds and whatnot.
Admittedly I'm in the middle of painting up Glutos at the moment, so I obviously don't dislike named characters that much. But I'm not intending to use him in every game.

There is a lot going on with the chants/prayers, without being boring.
Agreed. I want a Priest for my faction now, please!

Since GW have chosen to give each faction 4 battle formations in a bid to be fair, it's certainly the case that the armies that had the most subfactions will suffer the most in this change. There will absolutely be fewer command traits, artefacts etc than there are in the current books. I'd expect at most two spell lores for each faction but I wouldn't be surprised if each battle pack only gets one.
I must have missed the bit where they said four battle formations apiece for each faction.
So that means Hedonites will go from three up to four? Oooh. Well, that's intriguing. I wonder what it'll be...?

Slaughterpriests and Weirdnobs aren't able to stand up to Kroxigor twice their size under the current rules, I don't see why it's a big issue if they can't in 4th edition.
I think there's a general feeling that something like a Slaughterpriest should have a chance of sticking it to a Kroxigor.

I like that they've made Priests and Prayers quite different now, and they're not simply wizards-who-aren't-really-wizards anymore.

I dunno... I feel that cross-allegiance alliances should be rare, and exceptional circumstances. Give them rules and we'd be seeing them all the time.

I don't know about you guys, but I am super excited to play 4th edition. Can't wait to see the warscrolls for my factions. What they have been doing for Stormcast is so good!
Very excited! I played a game last night (which I comprehensively lost, in case you were wondering) and there were quite a few times I found myself thinking about how much smoother this'll be when the new edition rolls into town.

Just echo @Chikout but I do want to add that it's a hobby not a job/task.
That's such an important thing to remember. I habitually fall into that trap if I'm not careful... I'll be bingeing a telly show or something, and keep thinking that I should be painting my models. No! Bad thoughts. I should be able to do whatever I want with my free time!
I'd also add that if you do step away from the hobby, you should be careful not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. I got fed up with it about fifteen years ago, and virtually gave away two full painted armies. I regret that hugely now.

Pleasant, but hardly game-changing stuff. The Exalted Chariots still don't seem like a good option. The drop on Painbringers and Twinsouls is unexpected, but good.

It dries up because the pot cap usually gets dirty and it quickly becomes impossible to close the pot properly. So, the caps need regular cleaning - which is just poor design.
True. I guess I'd got used to keeping them tidy. But you're right, it is a design fault.

I Like the paints themselfs but the Pot is absolut garbage. Designed to lose 30% of your Paint.
I've never had that problem. How do you end up losing the 30%? I ask out of curiosity.

I seem to remember someone was saying that standard bearers/musicians were going to be back to one per unit (a la Fantasy Battle). The "standard bearer (1/5)" on the Vindictors warscroll suggests otherwise.
Which pleases me. I like the visuals of having my units festooned with banners and icons!

New seekers with the updated mounts that slickblade/blissbarbs have please
Oooh... a new Exalted Chariot with Exalted Steeds pulling it. That'd be tasty.

plastic Khorne berserker (mid-late 90's?)
It was December 1994. I know that because it was my first ever issue of White Dwarf!
There was also a free Wizard (1 from a mix of 8 plastic Talisman miniatures) roughly a year after that.

Let's be honest : it's because they were sexy they were loved.
Hah! I've always suspected that might be the case. They were certainly the most feminine of the Daemonette models from over the years. They just never really did it for me.

If they channeled the spirit of Juan Diaz' metal daemonettes (minus the nudity, since I don't think GW would get away with that) in a modern plastic kit I'd buy... all of them?
I've never quite seen why people put those Diaz sculpts on such a pedestal. They were so tiny and delicate, I found them impossible to paint. And their poses were... odd. All on one leg. But that's just my opinion - I know hordes of people love them!

This makes me wish for new demonettes sculpts.
I wouldn't object to that. But the fact that the parts are designed to be compatible with the Seekers and the Chariots means that they'd probably have to re-do the whole kaboodle. Can't see that happening any time soon.

I think that (at least with major brands) the quality of the paint is almost always at least adequate. Less so with the brushes.
Ain't that the truth. I'd never touch a Citadel brush again.
-
As an aside, when it comes to brushes, Reaper's sable ones are the real business. Really durable, and not too expensive (at least in my slice of the world).

The classic colors for each God are the typical choices but frankly you can paint a chaotic force however you please. Yep, blur or green or red or purple might be the go-to choice but those colors are not set in stone, usually just a form of superstition (as in lucky colors) and frankly have been modified, expanded upon and changed over the years anyways.
I don't know if the other factions had something similar, but I really liked this bit from the previous edition of the Hedonites book. Made it clear that it really was up to the painter's whims to decide what colours to use.

Oh yes, I've tried a few colours of Two Thin Coats, and they impressed me. Their drawback is I can't find anyone in my slice of the world that stocks them, or get them delivered at an affordable price.

Yes, yes... so everyone keeps saying.
I'd be happy if the Anvil of Apotheosis was made a more permanent feature. Just for non-competitive games.
